There was a problem hiding this comment.
Why is this useful? Because the shell forks?
RemainAfterExit=
Takes a boolean value that specifies whether the service shall be
considered active even when all its processes exited. Defaults to
no.

Not needed, I remove that. |
Add Source for /sbin/switch-passwd and switch-passwd.service.
The script switch-passwd changes /etc/passwd into a symlink
to passwd.mariux (which is disted) and removes "nis" as
a passwd source from /etc/nsswitch.conf. These changes
are not done, if already done or if gdm is running.
On systems with gdm (workstations) which can't upgrade
immediately, the service switch-passwd.service is used
to do the switch on the next boot.
/etc/passwd and /etc/nsswitch.conf are temporarily disabled
from pdist on the Distmaster to allow a rolling upgrade.
After these files are distributed, all system should execute
/sbin/switch-passwd # attempt immediate switch
systemctl enable switch-passwd.service
After all systems have upgraded (immediate or after reboot) we
can re-enable /etc/passwd and /etc/nsswitch.conf in the Distfile
and remove these switch-passwd files.
